We've already stole Hatch and Chandler from you a couple of seasons ago and of course over the summer, we've got Tait and Norman on-board.
What kind of deal does Tony Norman with Gateshead, I went to watch us play down in Farsley yesterday and I am sure Tony Norman was there alongside Gray and Atko.
What is happening at the moment, seems like a bit of a circus at the moment, Anth Smith resigning, then trying to talk his way, the chairman saying absolutely not, to be honest I agree with the Chairman, Smiths position wqs untenable, and if they took him back what's there to stop him spitting his dummy out in future.
Also, what is going on with the ground situation, I thought there was some pretty solid plans in place for a new build on Prince Consort Road, the artist impression I have seen looked nice, I hope that gets sorted soon, especially after last seasons problems having to goto places like Boro and Boston Utd for home games, because I reckon there could come a point were the Conference turn around and say 'we are not having this all the time, go and do one'.
One thing I keep thinking about, how do Gateshead manage to sustain a full time playing squad, they are lucky to get 800 arses on seats on average, is the club being bankrolled. It is not a crticism really(well, it is and it isn't), I only ask this, because our projected average to break even this season is just under 1500, about 1450 I think, even then we will probably not be minted and we are 3 divisions under you
